- I "..'.App1ieation filed December 28,1925." Seri'ahNo,78,0135: j A I Q j :BYQTVHFJ of eiplanation, may be stated that-it is customary for persons buyingumilk and other liquids,- to puttickets or money.

intothe milk bottle, to beiece'i'ved by the vendor. This practice is inconvenient for the .mercha'nt, for? reasons "which will. be understood readily bythose skilled in the art. Thisinvention, therefore, aims to provide novel meanswhereby tickets, change, orders and the like may be mountedon orj in a cover fora milk bottle.

It is within the province of thedisclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which'the a" invention app'ertain's. L

.lVith the above and other ob ectsm' view.

which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it f'being understood that changes in the precise embodimentof the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings :v Figure 1 is a transverse section of a device constructed in accordance with the invention,

- mounted on a bottle;

Figure2 is a top plan wherein parts are broken away; 1

Figure 3 is a planet a blank out of which V 7a modified form of the invention is fashioned; and

Figure 4 is a sectional view of a device constructed out or the blank depicted Figure 3, and mounted. on a bottle; V

' Figure 5 is a section showingiianother modification. v v v a- Referring to Figures 1 and 2'therefis provided a cap which is'denoted generally by the numeral 1. Although the device form-.

I The disks'10 and 11 are connected by a reduced neck 14, and the disks 15, the neck 15 generally-beingalittle longer.

12 and 11 are connected by areduced neck than is the neck 14. 'The disk 10 isswung beneath the disk 11, the'neck 14 being bent.

The disk 12 is swung beneath the disk 10,? v x the neck 15 being bent. .The disk 12 is se' .cured throughout its entire area to the disk v 7 10, and the disks 10 and 11 are secured to i r gether at their peripheries, throughout a por- I tion of their circumference, as shown at '64 in Figure 2. There results,-therefore,

a pocket'16 between the disks 10 and 11,- corresponding to. the pocket 5, and v having an inlet opening 17 corresponding. to the" inlet opening 6 of Figure 1, The disk 12 of Fig ures 3and 4 corresponds in function-to thej closure 7' of Figure, '1', the'fparts' 10 and 11 'cOnstitutingthecap, markedby thenumer'al 1 in Figure 1.
